Goofs
When Frank Dillon and his gang run Dr. Bishop off the road, their two cars come to a stop up against each other, with Frank's car slightly ahead. But, in the next shot, Frank and his gang easily open the doors on the car's right side with plenty of space to get out and the two cars are about even.

Quotes
Pills Davis: I started dinner last night with some ice cream, then I had a steak, then soup...
Dr. Steven Bishop: You started with ice cream and finished with soup?
Pills Davis: Yeah.
Dr. Steven Bishop: Just as I thought, you've got an upside down stomach.
Pills Davis: Is that bad?
Dr. Steven Bishop: It's not good. Because of eating backwards and taking all those vitamins you've overtaxed your vital organs. Your tissues will shrivel up like that.
Pills Davis: I guess you're right Doc, all of a sudden I feel awful.

Fast paced Warner Bros crime flick

That's the kind of little crime flick that a moviegoer should not miss. It is so efficient, taut, gritty, with a Howard Da Silva excellent, juicy, terrific in this villain character. It is of course fast paced, as were the Paramount crime movies of this period, starring Anthony Quinn, Lloyd Nolan, J Carroll Naish. Short but riveting. The only weak point is that here, you have the unavoidable good guy who survives in the end with his sweetheart. Such a shame. Warner Bros was really a specialist of this kind of films, gangster plots with over the top casts. D Ross Ledermann remained without any ambition as a director and that's also a shame.
